The the visits are part of a free program offered by Bismarck-Burleigh Public Health called the Babies And Mothers Beyond Birth Education (BAMBBE) program.
The nurses answer questions about breastfeeding, sudden infant death syndrome, injury and disease prevention.
They also speak with new moms about how they’re feeling and whether they’re getting enough sleep. A panel of government-backed experts recently released a new set of recommendations that says all pregnant women and new mothers should be screened for depression.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – School officials are looking into expanding Bismarck’s three public middle schools.

Both options have been considered by the school district with the number of students increasing and putting middle schools past capacity.
According to preliminary estimates, adding a middle school would cost roughly $35 million, while making additions to the existing three middle schools would cost $18 million. Board members have directed the district to find an architect to verify costs.
That architect would also investigate renovation costs meant to ensure Bismarck and Century high schools aren’t lacking amenities of the new Legacy High School.

Carter Thompson, who resigned as principal planner in March after less than a month on the job, has alleged that the city isn’t abiding by its code regarding zoning applications. Differences between her and the city have focused on applications for a zoo sign and a takeout restaurant’s parking.
Thompson has stood by her earlier statements.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Some prominent legal advocates are weighing in on the debate over President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee. Fifteen former American Bar Association presidents are urging Republicans to consider Chief Judge Merrick Garland. In a letter to Senate leaders, they argue that the GOP blockade “materially hampers the effective operation” of the judiciary. They say Garland is “one of the most outstanding judges in the country.”

An Associated Press-GfK poll says it’s the first time that’s happened since 2013. But the poll finds no evidence that Republican opposition is thawing.
